Media Arts Lesson 8 - Overlay and Liquify

Today in Media Arts we learnt two new tools, the liquify tool and how to overlay. The liquify tool, is a selection of tools which makes parts of an image smaller, a part of an image bigger and to move parts of an image. I decided to edit MirandaSings, using the liquify tool. The main reason why I used the liquify tool is to make the image look strange, weird and ugly. But you can also use the liquify tool to touch up images and make them look better. Liquify, can also be used to change the emotion of the picture. Mr Andrews, demonstrated on a dog trying to make it look a lot more sad than what the picture originally looked like. This, so far is my favourite tool that I've used in photoshop. Overlay is used when you need to put a texture over another image. Mr Andrews experimented with this face and the texture of snake skin. He placed the snake skin over the top of his face and adjusted it to fit his face. This tool can be useful to blend an animal with your face, a task Mr Andrews set us. I decided to blend my face with a monkey. I haven't done it yet and I am planning to start it next lesson. Here is a picture of Miranda Sings liquified:
